Untitled poem about weather

In this existence dry and wet Will overtake the best of men- Some little shift o' clouds'll shet The sun out now and then-, Any mayby while yer wunderin' who You've fool-like lent yer umbrell' to, And want it- out'll pop the sun, And you'll be glad you haint got none! James Whitcomb Riley Indianapolis, Ind, 1888
